Can anyone help and tell me what units I should have if I have m / m s^-2 The m's cancel leaving 1 / s^-2 If I had 1 / s^-1 it wouldn't be a problem but to the -2 is confusing me. Thanks!

m/s^2  is a measurement of ACCERATION

 

m/s      is a measure of VELOCITY

 

if you have  m / (m-sec^-2)     that is equal to    (m-sec^2)/m  = sec^2  (the same thing as 1/(sec^-2)
